IXARC ABSOLUTE MAGNETIC ROTARY ENCODER WITH IO-LINK + INCREMENTAL INTERFACE
Introduction
This manual explains how to install and configure the IXARC absolute rotary encoder with IO-Link interface. Magnetic rotary encoders determine positions using the Hall effect sensor technology developed for the automotive mass market. A permanent magnet fixed to the shaft generates a magnetic field that is sampled by the Hall sensor, which translates the measured value into a unique absolute position value. To register revolutions even when no voltage is applied, energy from the turning of the shaft must suffice for proper operation. An innovative, patented technology makes this feasible even at low rotational speeds and through long standstill periods – a Wiegand wire ensures that the magnetic field can only follow the turning of the shaft in discrete steps. A coil wound on the Wiegand wire receives only brief, strong voltage This description is not intended to replace the documentation for the product concerned.
General Information
Hazardous voltage and mechanisms, death, or serious injury due to electrical shock, burns and entanglement in moving parts, or property damage will result if safety instructions in the documentation are not followed. Do not service or touch until you have de-energized high voltage, grounded all terminals and turned off the control voltage. If the pertinent documentation is not in your hands, please ask for it by using the order key in the product catalog or contact your FRABA POSITAL contact person. Only proper trained staff aware of local safety regulations is allowed to commission and operate, or to work on and around this product after procedures contained in the documentation. Before touching electronic assemblies make sure static charges are eliminated by touching an earthed component.
Typical Applications:
- Factory Automation
- Process Automation
- Production Machinery

The encoder contains an IO-Link interface and an incremental interface. If connected to an IO-Link master ther encoder will work as an absolute singleturn IO-Link encoder. Connecting the same encoder to any incremental PLC or similar device the encoder will function as an incremental encoder outputting incremental pulses. The incremental interface can be configured via IO-Link. To connect the encoder to an IO-Link master an adapter cable is might needed depending on the connection exit of the encoder. The adapter cable can be purchased separately from Posital.
